I've been searching some on offa.org and have noticed that some top breeders, several of which were recommended here, don't seem to have uniform testing. One dog will have hips and cerf, another will have hips and SA, while yet another will have hips, elbows, thyroid, SA and cerf. Is it possible that some are listed and other aren't? I know it's the breeder's discretion whether the results are listed online or not, but why have just part of the tests listed?
So far the tests listed are:
Hips
Elbow
Patella
Sebaceous Adenitis
DEGENERATIVE MYELOPATHY
NEONATAL ENCEPHALOPATHY
Cardiac
Cerf
Thyroid
Von Willibrands
Do standard poodles need all of these? How often should they be done? I'm especially interested in how often Cerf should be done and how it's reported. For example one sire that I really like says "Tested:06" What does that mean?
